Q. Which expression is equivalent to (42)8(4^2)^8?\newlineChoices:\newline(A) 4164^{16}\newline(B) 1416\frac{1}{4^{16}}\newline(C) 4104^{10}\newline(D) 1410\frac{1}{4^{10}}
  1. Understand and Apply Power Rule: Understand the problem and apply the power of a power rule.\newlineThe problem asks us to simplify the expression \(4^22)^88\. According to the power of a power rule, when we raise a power to another power, we multiply the exponents.
  2. Apply Power of Power Rule: Apply the power of a power rule to the given expression.\newline(42)8=4(28)=416(4^2)^8 = 4^{(2*8)} = 4^{16}
  3. Match Simplified Expression: Match the simplified expression to the given choices.\newlineThe simplified expression is 4164^{16}, which matches choice (A).
  4. Confirm Accuracy: Confirm that no mathematical errors have been made. We have correctly applied the power of a power rule and have not made any calculation errors.
